I thought there was a commitment to provide full coverage this year?

The Penn State game is on one of the Fox Sport channels. The others look like they are on full court for $49.00.

I'm particularly inspired by the Fitness America contest that they are showing on the deuce (or is that dunce) and the steroid enhanced bodies that they are showing, all of whom will probably be dead within the next 30 years.

Why can't we get any respect?

Arrgghhh.....Gggrrr. I thought their "big" announcement last year was a committment to the women's tourney ala CBS to the men. Pay TV is not a commitment. Grrrr... I'd probably have to order special equipment from Cox to do it because I can't do pay movies without doing that.

I got digital cable about 3 years ago, specifically so I could order games from Full Court Press and I also order the WNBA package and watch that during the summer.

I think next year is the commitment to show all games, and will probably have games more spread out than they are this year.

I ordered the Boston College/Mississippi State game last night for $5.95 and also got to see the Texas Tech/SFA match-up.....so it turned out to be a really good deal.

And that BC/Mississippi State was a GREAT game...........though I've never seen the USA that empty. Given that the TTU men's team was playing at the same time, I'm not surprised.

I knew, I knew Miss. State HAD to be better than their seeding, but did I pick 'em in my bracket, NO......

I have dish network and it doesn't look like you can buy one game at a time just the whole package.

ISU.......glad you told me that, I almost went to Dish a year or so ago, so I could order the "Fox Sports Package", but I'm glad I stuck with my digital cable....

Swok can you get the WNBA games a game at a time also?

no, it's the whole package, but it only cost $40 if you order early.
Actually, I've had the WNBA package for 2 years now and have never paid a cent......shhhhhhhhh, don't tell Cox....right now, I have the NBA package, which, of course I didn't order and WNBA shares that.

I'm not calling 'em, maybe I'll slide through the cracks one more year http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/smile.gif http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/smile.gif

You deserve it if you have digital cable unless yours is cheaper than in was in Iowa. I tried digital for a year before I went to the dish. Dish was cheaper and I got 2 to 3 times more programs.

it's not cheap, I think I pay about $50 bucks a month, BUT I get pretty much all channels, except that Fox Sports Package that I would dearly love to have during the in-season of women's basketball.
